Can we marry non-chaste women of the book al kitaab?
I understand Allah has made it permissible for Muslim men to marry women of the book (al kitaab) who is chaste. Mashallah. What if the woman is not chaste? Is it possible for her to become chaste? What are the requirements for her to become chaste? This is for the sunni school of thought.

Are my past good deeds erased?
I have been a good Muslim and a bad Muslim. Throughout the years I've been to *'omra* (a few times) and *hajj* (once) and read the whole Quran (once) but also been neglecting prayer and doing sin (drinking, gossip, etc...). My faith keeps going up and down, sometimes even going months without prayer...
I have been a good Muslim and a bad Muslim. Throughout the years I've been to *'omra* (a few times) and *hajj* (once) and read the whole Quran (once) but also been neglecting prayer and doing sin (drinking, gossip, etc...). My faith keeps going up and down, sometimes even going months without prayer (because of bad influence around me).
My friend tells me all my past good deeds have been wiped away because of my bad sins and neglecting prayer. Also that all the performing of faith in Ramadan and *hajj*/*'omra* was a waste of time because none of the good deeds from that is counted and is replaced by bad deeds.
My friend did not provide any evidences to support this claim, so I'll ask here: **Is there an Islamic basis to this idea that all my past good deeds are wiped away due to my sins?** Is this actually an Islamic teaching, or is it based on an incorrect understanding of Islamic fundamentals?

It says here that the sons of Israel received the Egyptian lands. But they came out of Egypt and went to Canaan. So how could they get these lands?

Suppose a person asked me to lend them money over a long period (**10000$**. Repay after four or five years as an example).
I want to know whether this idea is permissible or not :
> I convert the money amount (in that very moment) in Gold ( **120 grams** for example), and lend that person the money they want on the account that in five years they will give me back what 120 grams of gold cost in that time in future.

Was prophet Mohamed stolen red velvet cloth in badr war? Did early muslims accusing prophet Mohamed as a thief? Who is stolen red carpet cloth?
The verse "And no Prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" was revealed about a red velvet. When it was found missing on the day of Badr, some people said; Perhaps the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has taken it. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down "And no prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" to the end of the verse.

Assalamualaikum,
This is my first summer on a motorcycle and I intend to ride it to the mosque, now often those who ride carry there helmets with them whenever they leave the bike, for example carrying the helmet around the grocery store while shopping. I would like to ask if it is permissible or atleast not taboo to bring my helmet in with me and leave it next to me as I pray (I don’t want to leave it with the shoes). I’m too embarrassed to ask at my local mosque so any help would be appreciated,
Jazaakallah.

Assalamualaikum. My mom is the person that i am very close to. I was with her all the time and still am. My mom gets angry for many reasons. Sometimes because i did not do the work properly like dishes or me being late to go for ghusl and many more reasons. I promise you i never want to shout at my mom. But i cannot seem to hold my tounge. I hate myself for not able to hold my tounge and not talk with my mom rudely. Today i was delaying my time for a bath. My mom came and hit me. I got angry and told her " ill go when i want to" She again hit me. I told her to put down the ruler in a rude way. She got more angry. She doesnt want to talk to me now and i am trying make her laugh. She laughs but still she does'nt talk to me. I don't even know if i deserve forgivness. Whenever i get hit i act very rudely. I don't know why. But i really love my mom. So does my mom loves me. But we both share a similar thing that is our anger. My mom cannot control hers. But i should control mine. If i ask forgivness from Allah. Will he forgive me??

Recently I heard that when najasa (impurity[**ejaculation**]) has been touched with the clothes after **masturbation**, you can wash them by simply putting it in washing machine with high amount of water and detergent. Then after it wash, rinse and dry, **it becomes pure and you can use them again for praying**. I want to know that if it is true. If it is not true, then I would like to know how to wash Najis clothes in washing machine. I also read that after ejaculation **when the semen dries** you can do the same steps as I told earlier. So, all I want to know is **how to wash dried and wet Najis clothes which was mixed/touched with semen, is it okay to wash in a washing machine with high amount of water and detergent or it should be done in other ways**?

The hadith,
> "O people, repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness, for I repent to Him a hundred times a day."
(see for example in Sahih Muslim )
Is it repetitively saying 100 times like "astaghfirlLah, astaghfirlLah, astarghfirlLah x 100 times consecutively?
Or is it meant to be, 1 istighfar is like how you would seek an apology to a person? For eg. Hey John, im really sorry for the mistake i did (with genuine remorse in the heart) = 1 istighfar
